Scopus for iPhone!Scopus for iPhone!The new Scopus Alerts application gives researchers mobile access to the Searching and Alerting features of Scopus. It’s designed to eliminate the need g g gfor scientists to seek out a desktop or laptop computer to search for quality research data while travelling, attending conferences or commuting to work.

New! SciVerse Apps for easy searching:e.g. the Search translator

The Search Translator App translates your non-English search query and performs a q y psearch utilizing the translated query on SciVerse Hub. The Search Translator is powered by the Google Translate API and supports 52 languages.The Search Translator is available on the SciVerse Hub home page and the search results page.

New! SAE automotive records now on Scopus

• Measure proposed in 2005 by the physicist Jorge E. Hirsch.

• Rates a scientist’s performance based on their career publications, as measured by the lifetime number of citations each article receives.

• Depends on both quantity (number of publications) and quality (number of citations) of a scientist’s publications.

• Official definition: “A scientist has index h if h of their N papers have at least hcitations each, and the other (N – h) papers have no more than h citations each.”

• T l ti f d fi iti If li t ll i ti t’ bli ti i d di• Translation of definition: If you list all a scientist’s publications in descending order of the number of citations received to date, their h-index is the highest number of their papers, h, that have each received at least h citations. So, their h-index is 10 if 10 papers have each received at least 10 citations; their h-index is 81 if 81 papers have each received at least 81 citations. Their h-index is 1 if all of their papers have each received 1 citation, but also if only 1 of all their papers has received any citations – and so on..

•Use proximity operators to specify that two terms must be within a certain distance of each other in the text field being searched. You can use proximity operators on the Advanced search form.

S th f ll i t i it tScopus uses the following two proximity operators:•PRE/n "precedes by". Where the first term in the search must precede the second by a specified number of terms (n). •W/n "within" Where the terms in the search must be within a specified•W/n within .
